There is joy in doing good

"We should have before us a strong desire to do good to others.  Never mind so much about ourselves.  Good will come to us all right if we keep our  minds outside of ourselves to a certain extent, and try to make others happier and draw them a little nearer to the Lord.  We have been sent into the world to do good to others;  and in doing good to others we do good to ourselves.  We should always keep this in view, the husband in reference to his wife, the wife in reference to her husband, the children in reference to their parents, and the parents in reference to their children.  There is always opportunity to do good to one another.  When you find yourselves a little gloomy, look around you and find somebody that is in a worse plight than yourself; go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated."  Lorenzo Snow Apr. 1899
